shibadang!

so i guess i've been feeling a little too good recently, so it was time to catch a break the hard way. a good friend of mine took me out to a new (to me) climbing area with many freestanding boulders below a crazy looking cliff band. lots of first ascent potential, super gorgeous vista of central oregon facing east. it was freaking beautiful. 

after the short hike, we did a warm up called Jennies Arete, which took me like 5 tries to get. some warm-up, shortly after i figured i'd give this slabby route a try. about midway up i felt a distinct "pop" in my left middle finger, bailed off the route, and spent the rest of the day drinking hams and spotting tristan on some of the area classics. i'll post some pics of the place soon, i just have to find my camera cable. CHEERS!

yo - 

1st edition of real hip hop, right over here in bend oregon. i guess the ironic part is i have been drifting further and further away from hip hop over the years. i mostly listen to the Mission, De La Soul, and unique Syntax w/ Connah Jay, and have not been making any real hip hop myself in quite some time. 

i still try to keep it gangsta by biggin my ups to Danaan's clothing company SHY GANGSTA! bdduup!

heres are  a few pics of myself trying to maintain my gangster status, taken by some seriously gangster photographers Michael Chilcoat and Tyler Roemer. CHEERS.
